    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I would like to add is there any sign on advisers this week at the job centre as while I was waiting on something a couple of people where talking about what they have been up to this week and 1 of them said he had signed on bla bla bla but I was thinking why would he be signing on as surely there would be no sign on advisers in the job centre from this Monday to in 2 weeks time.

 

The sign on advisers will be working unless they have taken personal holiday time. That's not really important. Most regular fortnightly signing is cancelled for the holiday week, but some other appointments will take places as normal. If you've been given details of your signing dates for the next few weeks then that is when you should attend. Other people may have different appointments, and some folks refer to any attendance at the JC as "signing on".

I have been giving my next 3 signings dates 5-6-7 January as I am a daily signer.

 

Do you sign on? Or do you work?

I don't sign on, no, though I have in the past. I've also worked for the Jobcentre, though not as a signing adviser. At the moment my only work is volunteer based - I am neither employed nor a benefit claimant. In that sense I'm lucky.

No. A JCP adviser (official term is "employment officer") can instruct you verbally and note it on the LMS computer system. Best practice suggests that the job details should be printed out and the consequences of not applying be given. It is in your interest to get any instruction in writing so that there is no confusion.

 

If it is a Work Programme adviser (commonly known as a " "), any mandatory activity, which includes applying for a vacancy, must be in writing and the letter either handed to you or posted "in good time". Verbal instruction, SMS text, or email is not sufficient.

..plus if you've given the JC access to your Universal Jobmatch account - and you should never do this - they can use this to notify you of jobs to apply for and this should also be treated as mandatory.

 

If you have given them access then revoke it now and cut out one potential problem.

Birth Cert is usually good enough to prove the right to work in the UK (which is probably what they want). A driving licence is good for a photo ID, and a bank statement or utility bill in your name identifies your address.

It must be a FULL birth certificate, not the short version.

 

Anything else can only be used to support either a Passport (which can be an expired one as long as it is the biometric type) or Full Birth Certificate

If it is to work in a particular stor, I owuld suggest that you go and look round the store. Ask staff questions abot where items are and see what their response it. Then you can talk about it a bit and say how you like the approach of the staff and you are very supportive of that customer-facing attitude.

Mooch around for 30 minutes or so - but don't look like a shoplifter!!

 

Read the Sainsbury's website and learn as much about their policies as possible. Make it look as if you really have taken an interest in the business

^^^ Agree entirely!

 

Supermarkets are all about giving good service - now more than ever, so if you are observing how existing Sainsburys staff work and you see an example of this, remember the person's name mention how impressed you were with the way they were working and how, as a customer you value friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people serving you and would be keen to deliver this in turn should you be fortunate enough to be given the opportunity. Bankfodder is spot on in suggesting you research Sainsburys - their history and philosophy - it might just separate you from being somebody who 'needs a job' as being somebody who has taken the trouble to learn more about the job and company. This page sums up what they are looking for, so think of examples of how you measure up. http://sainsburys.jobs/role/in-store/checkout-assistant Interviewers often ask for examples of where you have given or received good service, so make sure you have a couple up your sleeve.

Just wanted to ask what happens if all that has ever been issued is a short version?

 

When I was registered and the date on the birth certificate backs this up, then a short version was all that was issued to my parents.

 

Sorry for hijacking this thread but I am curious to know.

 

Thanks

Hello there. If you think you need a full certificate, you can always apply for one online. £9 to you if you go direct to the records office. Don't use other commercial websites because they charge you extra.

HB is correct - you can order the full version online very easily. When a birth is registered a full entry is created on the register, and the parent(s) registering the birth get a short version free of charge at the time, or can buy a full version if they wish.

 

For official use - opening a bank account, getting a first passport, getting married etc, AND where being used as a proof of entitlement to work in the UK, only a full Birth Certificate is acceptable.

Instead of opening a new theard

 

I was wanting to know if this has happened to anyone

 

I was signing on today and this woman was the first time I had her and she said why don't you have all the websites etc u have visited every day like u have put down today I said because never been told to and a have seen my adviser and a lot of signing on advisers and only u has told me I need to I said I will do it from now on but I have been told or had any issues she said it's just incase the benefit people see etc I was thinking Jesus it's only putting down names of websites I checked not actual jobs!

 

What do you guy/girls think of this.

I never bothered listing every web site visited. It was usually something along the lines of:

 

  • Searched jobs.com for vacancies.
  • Applied for vacancy xxx at [company name]
  • Contacted [company name] (omitting to say it was via the company's web site) to see if they had any vacancies.
  • etc, etc.

The key point is to fill as much space as possible. Sure, searching a jobs web site counts as one action, but each application you make counts as new actions (just don't mention the previous job search web site). Drown the JCP in nauseating detail :wink:

Can't believe they complain about that putting down website do they not know that we apply for them jobs via a website and there name. What a silly excuse for a sanction Ect i must say. She said my claimant commitment says I said I was doing that in the book which I have been told I don't need to use and to keep that stuff down on the book and put like my cv jobs stuff like that on to UJM but yet this adviser the only one complaining about putting websites names down.

 

I better have my money in my bank on Saturday or I'm putting a complaint in

This claimant commitment why does it say with all the 'my actions for getting work' and then a list of stuff but below it says I will keep evidence my work plan booklet will help me do this I said I had it in my book but didn't want to look at it plus if this website sites I have to write down daily why doesn't it says 'my universal jobmatch account will show this why it only say work booklet. Confusing what is this claimant commitment for both UJM and work booklet or just the one of them ? If it's both why don't it say that in the sheet.

 

Claimant commitment actions is design to offer my the best chance of doing so so why is putting websites on UJM daily as I don't think putting down website should be must it's only websites not like it's a job your applying for lol.

Are you saying that in your Claimant Commitment you have agreed to use UJM and you have allowed them access to it? Plus that you have also agreed to use and keep up to date the Work Plan Booklet?

 

Are you on Universal Credit CC or on JSA/CC?

The Claimant Commitment is not designed to help you find a job or improving the job search activities. It is yet another way for the JCP to increase the pressure, trip you up, and impose sanctions - If in any doubt, google "JCP harassment" and/or look at some of the evidence being presented to the Select Committee review of the Oakley Report.

Sorry if I come across not good just ****ed of about this.

 

No nothing on my claimant commitment that says 'agreed to use UJM or I must give them access' and when I was giving my claimant commitment I was giving the work plan booklet and that's what it's for.

 

I am on job seeker allowance universal credit isn't here.

 

Just don't get why putting what websites I have checked down everyday not even my adviser complains about my job search or any other sign on advisers they have always been happy with my job search but this one said something just incase the 'benefit something ' sees it but yet my job search has been the same for the last 10months when I got my claimant commitment Not one complain till Wednesday there
